“SNL’s” Kenan Thompson and Lorne Michaels Developing Sitcom

Thompson will star in an as-yet-untitled family comedy to be executive produced by his SNL boss Lorne Michaels. The project has a script commitment from the network and would feature Thompson as a newlywed who moves in with his in-laws.

The still-untitled pilot would mark Thompson’s return to series TV, where he first rose to fame as a sidesplitter with Nickelodeon ’90s comedies All That and Kenan and Kel.

Kenan has been a regular on SNL for 10 seasons. Thompson is best known for his portrayal of Deandre Cole — the singing host of fictional BET talk show What Up With That — in addition host of impersonations, including Rev. Al Sharpton, Reba McEntire and Whoopi Goldberg.
